COUNTY NYACK, N. FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1970 Jobl Rate ess Change in High School Tactic Noted THE ROCKLAND Hits 4.8 ce tSLSK department's "wasn't a unitary phenorr.e-nom" and thus made no general recommendations to school systems. "Our job is not to mandate student involvement," he said, "but we do have the responsibility to suggest this can be done." As the ultimate example of petty rules which irritate some students, Haake said, "I know one principal that allows his seniors four passes per year to go to the toilet. If they go more than that, they're put on long run. I think we're going to have to get into the leg.sla-ture, and into education to work from within," Haake said.

Leonard Post and Rich Schnell, who both came to the task force after attending Plartsburgh State, detailed what schools have done to increase student involvement. The high school at Spring Valley has created a student-facuity-adminlstration board, not subject to veto by the superintendent, to make school policies. Haupauge, Long Island, has used student advisory committees on the curriculum, drug abuse and the use of passes at school. Buffalo has student-teacher committees to revise curriculum. The Greece system, in suburban Rochester, and Bethlehem Central, near Albany, use "modular" scheduUng, or flexible class periods.

Haake said such programs do not guarantee there will be no school disruptions. The group held nine regional meetings with students, he said, and finally decided unrest ALBANY, Y. fUPI) -Somewhere in the stat. there is a school principal who allows seniors four passes to leave class and go to the toilet per year. The story was cited Thursday by an assistant education commissioner as one of the petty rules, plus the wider concerns of Vietnam, racism and lack of involvement, apparently behind student unrest in high schools.

Bernard F. Haake, assistant commissioner for instructional services, and three recent college graduates comprise the student affairs. Some schools are trying channel student activism into constructive Ur.es, Haake said, by giving students a greater voice in policy making. The idea may reach the state level with the upcoming suggestion that a student advisory group be created to make recommendations to the education commissioner. "I sense the beginning of a mood where students say the confrontation tactic just doesn't get us too far In the By NEIL GILBRIDE AP Labor Writer WASHINGTON' (AP) -High level sources say the nation's unemployment rate last month shot up from 4.4 to 4.8 per cent the sharpest jump In the jobless figure in 10 years.

This was the largest increase for a single month since the 1960 recession and brought the jobless total to just undor 4 million unemployed, a live-year high. Tht actual figures show a drop of 181,000 jobless to a total of 3,552,000. But since April usually sees a much larger decline the Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a rise of 201,000 to 3,948,000 when adjusted for expected seasonal factors, such as the usual spring spurt in construction, Goldberg Decides Not to File Petitions agriculture and some other industries. Construction has been particularly hard hit by President Nixon's policies of tight money, high interest rates and federal spending cuts aimed at curbing the nation's worst Inflation in 20 years. The unemployment report added to economic worries over a skittish stock market and the continuing rise in living costs at a rate of more than 6 per cent a year.

It also added ammunition to the labor movement's warnings that Nixon's stringent economic policies designed to curb inflation were pushing the nation toward a recession without measurably slowing the price rise. "The danger signals are flashing almost everywhere that the nation's current economic recession, slump, slowdown, or whatever term you like, may grow worse," said the AFL-CIO. The 13.6 million member labor federation wants Nixon to ease, selectively, some economic restraints, continue others, provide stimulants for growth in some industries such as housing construction and to make the federal government the "employer of last resort" by providing public service jobs for those out of work. GOLFERS JIM CASSIAS Goldberg said he wanted to circulate the petitions to place him on an equal footing with his two primary challengers, Robert Morgenthau and mil-lionaire industrialist Howard Samuels. An hour before the deadline for filing the petitions in person, however, Goldberg notified the New York secretary of state's office he had decided against it.

His campaign manager, Ramsey Clark, said that more than 93,000 registered Democrats had signed the petitions that apparently will now be discarded. Morgenthau's aides filed pe- ALBANY, N.Y. (LTD Arthur J. Goldberg, who confused Democrats when he "waived" their official designation for governor last month, surprised them again Thursday by deciding not to file the petitions he had circulated for the state's highest position. Thus Goldberg will be on the June 23 primaiy ballot solely as a result of the April 1 designation of the Democratic state committee.

This is the designation he "waived" at the time to avoid the charge he was the candidate of the Democratic bosses. OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK AIRLINES DO ITU!

Samuels said he was mailing his petition to Albany, a step that is legal as long as they are postmarked by midnight Thursday. Two Democratic senatorial contenders Rep.

Richard D. McCarthy of Buffalo, with 17,080 signatures both filed petitions. They will face the official party candidate, Theodore C. Sorensen, and Paul O'Dwyer, who got on the ballot by receiving more than 25 per cent of the state committee vote. All the contenders had far in excess of the 10,000 required signatures, a safety precaution in case of challenges.

Dr.

Thomas O. Paine, space agency administrator, announced late Thursday the investigation already made by the Apollo 13 board of Inquiry showed that several months will be needed to make safe the tanks in Apollo 14. "Our present assessment Is that the modifications to the oxygen tanks in the service module that have already been months and that Apollo 14 cannot be launched before the Dec. 3 launch window," Paine said in Washington. "We will take whatever time is necessary and will not commit to a specific launch date (914)354-4200 necessary, Paine said engineers would calculate moon-flight trajectories for launch opportunities in early 1971.

The review board plans to have its final report ready to presend to Paine by June 1. The investigation so for shows the most probable cause for the explosion was a short circuit which touched off a fire in the tank, heating the oxygen and raising its pressure until the tank burst. Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell originally were targeted to land near the Crater Littorw on the southeastern edge of the Sea of Serenity. Scientists at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, however, recommended that landing be dropped and that Apollo 14 be reassigned to the hilly Fra Maura formation Lo-veil and Haise were to explore. Paine accepted the recommendation late Thursday.
